I can't comment on whether there are bugs or not, but do you have the time to make trips to the dealer (and down time) if there are?

yeah i guess, but man the e70 is hard to resist

its a common thing with ANY new car that comes off the lot, just like any new software, or product, its a new thing, people use it, find flaws, and then the company perfects and gets rid of those flaws..

Lot of bugs is just peoples guess based on E53 bugs when it came out (no scietific proof to back it up)

BMW is now much stronger financially then it was when E53 came out so expect less bugs than E53 had back then. Warranty would cover everything other than normal wear and tear.

Warranty doesn't include the cost of the lawyers, motoring engineer, Queens Counsel opinion and my time to actually ENFORCE the warranty......... :SIGH:

LVR, I know you had bad experience with your 4.8is, Steved also had problems with his 4.8is and BMW replaced his car and he is happy. SANguru had problems with his M5 and it was lemoned and BMW paid him every penny back and he got another BMW. Your problem is more of BMW Australia problem than to do with every BMW in general.

Actually, I took some advice given here on this forum and sent a letter to EVERY Director and board member of BMW Germany and BMW Australia (when it's all done I'll post the lot up on the forum). NADA... .

Anyway, here in Oz we don't have lemon laws so I must go through the courts and prove it all at my expense.... but today is a happy day. I've found a second 4.8is that we can use for an independent comparison by the Motoring Engineers. It porpoises front to rear but doesn't roll like mine so at least we have a baseline that is all independent of BMW

Every new model of car/motorcycle/snowmachine, whatever, has problems the first year it comes out. Look at anything made and you will see that there are changes made on the second model year. Personally, I have been burned buying stuff the first year it comes out, and I'll never do it again. So what if the problems are covered under warranty? Who wants to take the time to get it fixed and be with out the new toy you just spent a ton of money on? Wait till '08.
